Raise your hand if you've used Walmart's app to shop for groceries? As suspected, that's a lot of hands! Certainly, Walmart's ubiquitous EDLP (everyday low price) strategy and its 10-minute store proximity to 90% of the US population are primary drivers for their e-grocery dominance. But there's more to this under the surface. It's a relentless focus on continued refinement and polish applied to their IT systems and consumer facing apps, making the mobile/web shopping experience easier and easier. Check out the RetailWire article and the expert analysis from my BrainTrust colleagues: Carol Spieckerman, Neil Saunders, Brian Numainville, John Hennessy, David Biernbaum, Mohamed Amer, Ph.D., Dave Wendland, Gary Sankary, Gene Detroyer, Mark Self, Scott Benedict, Melissa Minkow, Alicia Thorpe, Dominick Miserandino, Chase Binnie

Is Walmart Building a Moat in E-Grocery?

What’s been the biggest contributor to Walmart’s acceleration of its online grocery growth? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gcR38znt John Hennessy "E-grocery is a sleeping giant. Shopping for groceries is a chore that e-grocery makes a lot easier. However, unlike most e-commerce, you still don’t get what you order when placing an e-grocery order." Dave Wendland "Walmart has ubiquitous access and?enviable reach. Consumers are familiar with the Walmart’s value proposition, assortment, and consistency." David Spear "If Walmart didn’t have the largest share in e-grocery, I’d be sorely disappointed in their ability to prioritize investments in new technology for e-comm, including the continued improvement to their mobile apps and web."

Serendipity is a thing. On the same day that I prepare to give a little heart-felt rant about Checkers Food Services, their daredevil delivery drivers, and their equally scary in-store trolley dashers, I get an article from The Daily Investor around the rise of dark stores for Checkers and Woolworths to try and at least alleviate the in-store pain of getting run over by staff. What are your thoughts on the overall experience of delivery apps versus the in-store shopping experience? https://lnkd.in/dFtVUT8C

Tesco Launches Online Marketplace - Your Thoughts? Does it position Tesco better to compete with e-commerce giants like Amazon? Or do you see potential challenges or drawbacks? As many of you may have seen, Tesco has just launched its new online "Tesco Marketplace" platform, allowing customers to shop for thousands of third-party products alongside their groceries. At launch, the Marketplace offers around 9,000 products across categories like garden, DIY, homeware, toys, and petcare from brands like Tefal, Silentnight, Tommee Tippee, and Charles Bentley. Products are fulfilled directly by vetted third-party sellers, not Tesco itself.A few key points about the Tesco Marketplace:Integrated into Tesco.com and the Tesco app for a seamless shopping experience Customers can earn Clubcard points on all Marketplace purchases.

Quick commerce is opening up exciting new opportunities, even in categories like toys. It’s fascinating to see how these platforms are expanding the market and catering to evolving consumer preferences. The collaboration and insights they bring highlight the potential for growth across all retail formats. How do you see quick commerce evolving in unconventional spaces?

grocery e-commerce really took off in October, hitting a record $10.5 billion in sales, up 28% from last year. Delivery was the big driver, making up almost half of all online grocery sales. It’s clear that promotions and subscription deals are getting people to buy more groceries online, especially with delivery orders growing by 25%. Pickup orders also saw a nice bump, but it’s delivery that’s really leading the charge. Mass retailers are pulling ahead of traditional supermarkets too. Interestingly, though, the overall number of households shopping for groceries online only grew slightly, now at 80%. It feels like the market is still expanding, but maybe not as fast as it used to. https://lnkd.in/eEC44VPX
